Gender:
Male
Born:
9-21-1971

Birth Name:
Luke Cunningham Wilson

Luke kicked off his acting career by having fun with some buddies and was lucky enough to debut alongside his brother, Owen Wilson and friend, Wes Anderson. The trio collaborated on "Bottle Rocket," an indie sensation which launched their careers.

Brothers Owen, Andrew Wilson, and Luke Wilson grew up in Dallas, Texas. All three harbored acting aspirations,

More but Luke didn't really take a serious interest until college. Attending Occidental College, Luke was at first more interested in the school's athletics department than in Drama or Theatre. He excelled at track and field, but eventually Luke gave up sports after attending a theatre course. The plays of Sam Shepard in particular were of interest to him and he enjoyed performing them.

Luke has continued to work primarily in independent features, but has been gradually landing roles in a few higher profile pictures--most notably Blue Streak and Legally Blonde.

    Luke Wilson is easily one of the top comedic actors of our modern times. He's right up there with Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell. Luke's break out role was in "Rushmore" and every role he touches turns to gold. My favorite of his role was in "Zoolander."

    I really like Luke Wilson's style, I think that he really acts well in most of all romantic comedies, but above all he has some good movies around that are not entirely based on that. I prefer his style, which is why I kind of like him more than other actors. He is cool!

    Brown hair, blue eyes... the sexier of the Wilson bros! hide show

    Okay, I admit it... I prefer Luke. I feel like I'm in the minority too. Everyone seems to like Owen's longish hair and crooked nose. But since I saw Luke in "Legally Blonde" I was sold. He's awesome... He's also hysterical! I dig his short brown hair and boyish good looks. He's definitely leading man material.
